Directed 'Shivaay' Because Only I Could Tell Story I Wanted: Ajay Devgn

Darpan News Desk, 08 Aug, 2016 02:43 PM
    Actor Ajay Devgn says that he chose to direct his upcoming film "Shivaay" as he felt that only he would be able to tell the story that he wanted to with the film.
     
    At the film's trailer launch, Ajay, asked if he could not trust other directors with the film, said: "It was not that way. I had my own thought process. The story that I wanted to tell, I felt that only I could tell it. That is why I made the film."
     
    "It is a family film. The action is a backdrop, but basically it is an emotional drama where a man is pushed to destroy everything possible because somebody is trying to destroy him. We had actually read an article which had happened in real life and we were moved by it, and the film has been made on that thought process. We didn't follow it, but it was an inspiration," he added.
     
     
    The trailer of the film sees Ajay jumping from snow-clad mountains, hanging from the top and bottom of the car, indulging in intense fight scenes with numerous car stunts. Bomb blasts were also shown. At the same time, his romantic and emotional side is also on display in numerous scenes.
     
    Ajay added: "The character's name is Shivaay and Shivaay is such a god who has all the elements in a normal human being. If you read about all the other gods, all of them are perfect. Shivaay is innocent, who consumes bhaang and does whatever every person does, makes mistakes, gets fooled and will destroy everything if he gets angry.
     
    "If all these things are present in today's human being and if it is used well, how will that be... It is a wholesome entertainer but along with that it has the thought of the characteristics of Shivaay. We search for strength outside, but it is inside us. If we try to find it 'Har har mahedev', every person is Mahadev."
     
    "Shivaay", also starring Sayyeshaa, Erika Kaar, Vir Das, and Girish Karnad, releases on Diwali this year.
